Spam Calls and Text Messages annoying you? Block them! With our information readily available in the world wide web, it's easy for our clients to get ahold of us but also getting unwanted calls and texts can be very common! How do you get them out of your smartphones and make sure they don't make annoying calls and send repeated text messages? Block them!

Just to be clear, there are two types of entities you may be receiving unwanted phone calls from. They can either be a spammer or a scammer. What's the difference? Spammers are often business who you've dealt with before or a particular charity you have sent a donation to. You can identify them right away because you know them or at least you may recall them. Typically, you can request for them not to call you back or for your number to be placed on their Do Not Call list. Reputable companies normally follow your request.

Scammers on the other hand, are entities whose aim is to solely manipulate you so they can either get information or steal from you. If you get phone calls or text messages which you know are a scam, NEVER engage. They would sometimes ask you to dial a certain number, click on a link or ask you to reply STOP. DO NOT DO anything they ask for. It would only convince them that your number is active and they will try to get back to you every now and then.

To block these numbers for iPhones, check out the instructions here, for devices running on the Android platform, check it out here. Text messages are easier to block, you can simply forward the text message to SPAM (7726), most carriers allow this. For more detailed instructions, click here.

I hope no more spammy calls and texts soon!
